Abstract
A photoelectric keyboard switch apparatus comprising a first structure to produce and detect laterally directed and longitudinally spaced first light beams at a first level in a simulated keyboard area, which is open; a second structure to produce and detect longitudinally directed, laterally spaced second light beams at or proximate to the first level, in the area, whereby the first and second light beams produce a grid like pattern having cross-over nodes; a third structure to produce and detect third light beams at a second level or levels, whereby user^s finger interruption of a third beam occurs in conjunction with finger interruption of the first and second beam at or near one or more nodes.
